Sutton House was built in 1535 by Sir Ralph Sadleir, Principal Secretary of State to Henry VIIIth, and is the oldest residential building in Hackney. It was bought by the National Trust in 1938 but after the 'Save Sutton House Campaign' stopped the house being turned into luxury flats it was finally opened to the public in 1994. It is now very much a centre of the local community.
